BANGKOK: Thailand’s Pheu Thai party claimed on Wednesday it formed a “democratic front” with six other parties after a disputed election.

The party claimed that the opposition alliance had won a majority in the lower house of parliament hence has the right to form a government.

The coalition, however, is likely fall short of electing a prime minister since it requires a combined vote with the upper house of parliament. The Senate, upper house, is entirely appointed by the military junta.

The opposition alliance’s move is likely to lead to a political deadlock in Thailand. (Agencies)
